Cranberry Pineapple Muffins}Muffin Monday

I am on a bit of a cranberry kick lately. To be honest with you I really haven’t done much with cranberries in the past. I don’t know why but I think I made up for it this week. I’ve used cranberries in three different recipes.

Well, today’s muffin recipe will help you use them up but save a few for another cranberry recipe I am going to share later this week – you are going to want to try it too.

I decided to combine the cranberry with pineapple and it turned out to be a delightful combination. The crushed pineapple add a lot of moisture to the muffin so it was light and moist.

A sprinkling of brown sugar on the top before baking gave a great flavor and a nice texture to the muffin. I have decided I definitely prefer a muffin with a crispy, crunch on top.

And because I know you are going to ask – those cute little fluted muffin liners came from The Decorette Shop in Tigard. I did not see them in their online store though, only in the actual storefront. There are lots of cute cupcake liners in their online store though.

Cranberry Pineapple Muffins may just the perfect addition to your Thanksgiving morning breakfast.

I think we are on the same wavelength! I just made Cran-Pineapple Sauce last night! I really like the sweet & tart combination of pineapple and cranberry. These muffins look great! My cran-pineapple recipe link is below 🙂

This recipe looks wonderful! I was just thinking about how I might do something more with cranberries than make plain old cranberry bread. I am going to try this out. I’m sure my husband and kids will thank you!

Wonderful idea! I just tried them today, and unfortunately they came out very dense. I think I went wrong with the pineapple, since the recipe calls for drained, I really got most of the moisture out, as I was worried it would make the batter too loose. Big mistake! Maybe I shouldn’t have drained as much. Good flavor, but, unless I did something very wrong, the consistency is just not desirable. Lovely idea though, would love to know where I went wrong!
